NBA 3X Philippines 2012 Presented by Sprite coming to SM Mall of Asia

Basketball is unbelievably unstoppable! Despite the rain, the flood and the potholes, there is no stopping the NBA 3X Philippines 2012 presented by Sprite returning to Manila on Aug 17-19. Being held at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall and the SM by the Bay, basketball fans are in for a 3 day treat!

This is the place folks to showcase the skills, the passion and the ego. Here’s a taste of what’s to come:

• 3-on-3 tournament
• Sprite Slam Dunk contest
• Sprite Skills Challenge
• KFC Bucket 3-Point Shootout
• Personal appearance from the Brooklyn Nets center, Brook Lopez

Even if you are not a participant, you won’t be bummed out. There will be NBA dance team performances, mascot appearances, NBA merchandise giveaways, and live bands and DJs. And did I forget to mention NBA MERCHANDISE GIVEAWAYS??

Adding to this year’s event, NBA 3X will feature try-outs for the Sprite Uncontainable Game.  Two Philippine finalists will be selected to be part of the global pool from which 2012 NBA Champion and MVP Lebron James and NBA Superstar Kobe Bryant will chose their teams, Team Sudden and Team Intense respectively. The Sprite Uncontainable Game, the brand’s largest ever basketball program, teams up with six NBA players to discover 24 of the most creative, undiscovered amateur ballers from around the world to represent either Team Sudden or Team Intense in the Sprite Uncontainable Game at the NBA All-Star 2013 in Houston, Texas. If picked to be part of either team, finalists will get a trip to the 2013 NBA All Star Game. Now isn’t that something to look 4ward to?!
